aloha, charles! thank you very much for your note and your and the incubator group's focus on the accessibility aspects of backplane applications at the outset of the effort... i also appreciate the crucial cross-over between the on-going work on forms, and i strongly believe that it can only assist (and hopefully help re-invigorate) that work through my participation in both the incubator group and the joint task force on forms... i eagerly anticipate the opportunity to work with you and the group, gregory. ---------------------------------------------------------- He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the great innovator. -- Sir Francis Bacon ---------------------------------------------------------- Gregory J.
